Persons with AB blood type can:
| 1. | donate blood to persons with all blood types as neither A nor B antigens are present on their RBCs |
| 2. | receive blood from persons with all blood types as both A and B antigens are present on their RBCs |
| 3. | receive blood from persons with all blood types as neither A nor B antigens are present on their RBCs |
| 4. | receive blood from persons with all blood types as neither anti-A nor anti-B antibodies are present on his blood plasma |
Consider the given two statements:
I. Group O blood can be donated to persons with any other blood group and hence O group individuals are called universal donors.
II. Both anti-A and anti-B antibodies are present in the plasma of a person with blood group O.
1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I
3. I is correct but II is incorrect
4. Both I and II are incorrect
Persons with 'AB' blood group are called as "Universal recipients". This is due to:
1. Presence of antibodies, anti-A, and anti-B, on RBCs
2. Absence of antibodies, anti-A, and anti-B, in plasma
3. Absence of antigens A and B on the surface of RBCs
4. Absence of antigens A and B in plasma
| I: | The type of antigen present on the RBCs of a person with blood group type A is A. |
| II: | The type of antibodies present in the plasma of a person with blood group type A is anti-A. |
| 1. | Only I is correct |
| 2. | Only II is correct |
| 3. | Both I and II are correct |
| 4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
| Assertion (A): | Rh incompatibility related complication does not arise in first pregnancy even if an Rh negative mother is carrying an Rh positive foetus. |
| Reason (R): | Rh antigens are proteins. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
A person with which of the following blood groups can receive blood from a donor of only his/her own blood group?
| 1. O | 2. A |
| 3. B | 4. AB |
What is true regarding blood transfusion and compatibility?
1. A-negative blood can probably be safely donated to a person with A-positive blood.
2. Antibodies against the Rh antigen do not develop unless an Rh-positive person is exposed to Rh-negative blood.
3. The largest percentage of people in India are Rh-negative.
4. Rh-negative mothers cannot have an Rh-positive baby.
